Spirit-Twisting
Obsession Style
Elusive Object
Of Desire
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Cup: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Desire is strongest for forbidden fruit,
and Entertainers therefore the most elusive of the fey. This Charm adds the
raksha’s Cup in automatic successes to the roll to escape, dodge or parry an
entanglement.
Art Of Corrosion
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Cup: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Elusive Object of
Desire
The weave of shaped fate praises the
target’s Virtues. Those Virtues clad the target in an adamant armor of righteousness
and give his every action a numinous glory. Yet, even adamant can crumble.
The raksha uses this Charm after the
target’s player declares a shaping or normal action but before the target’s
player rolls. The player rolls Conviction + Performance in a Cup-shaping attack
against a difficulty equal to his target’s Essence. If the roll succeeds, this
Charm forces the target to channel the praised Virtue on the declared action.
This Charm functions on actions inappropriate to the Virtue in question. It
does not function if the target has no more temporary Willpower or has used all
the available channels for that Virtue this story.

Obsession Stance
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: One story
Type: Simple
Minimum Cup: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Art of Corrosion
The raksha pours Essence into her Cup
Grace. She becomes a living symbol of the corruption of self. She names a
single opponent, who must be a participant in the current story. This Charm
subtracts the raksha’s permanent Essence from the targeted opponent’s shaping
dice pools, including defensive pools.
This is a Stance-type Charm. Characters
cannot use more than one Stance-type Charm at a time.

Obsession Stance
The raksha’s corruption spreads. The
target finds herself losing the principles she once
held dear. The raksha makes a Cup-shaping attack. This Charm makes the attack
undodgeable unless the victim channels Temperance into a dodge. It can be
parried normally.

Of Collapse

Ruin

Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Twisting
Obsession Stance
While the raksha’s arts distract the
target, the target’s life — within the Wyld’s false weave of fate — collapses. The
raksha’s player rolls Conviction + Larceny as a Cup-shaping attack. If the
attack hits, this Charm nullifies the damage of the attack and, instead,
increases the difficulty of all the target’s shaping actions by the raksha’s
Essence for the remainder of the scene.

Technique
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive

Ruin
The raksha’s presence and practices
makes concentration difficult for her victim. The raksha uses this Charm at the
beginning of the scene. The Charm reduces the victim’s ability to split her
shaping action. The victim cannot split his shaping action into more actions
than his Temperance. The victim receives only his Temperance in dodge or parry
actions from a full dodge or full parry.

The target attempts to shut out the
madness or passion that the raksha invokes and, failing, sinks further into the

target’s Willpower.

nothing.
